Room With A View - Brother Ali[00:00:00]

One side of the street is malone's funeral home[00:00:29]

And the other side's a library[00:00:32]

Try very hard to picture this shit[00:00:34]

Walk through where I live at[00:00:36]

Where parents are embarrassed to[00:00:38]

Tell you they raise their kids at[00:00:39]

If you need some half and half[00:00:41]

Or an eight ball you could get that[00:00:42]

F**k with little rodney[00:00:44]

And you get all of your ribs cracked[00:00:45]

In a location where slangin' crack rock is not seen[00:00:46]

A f**kin' recreation but a vocation[00:00:49]

And the sellers and the smokers are both pacin'[00:00:51]

Got one eye on minneapolic PD they both racin'[00:00:54]

Three for fifty is the supply and demand[00:00:57]

In the twin cities american heartland[00:01:00]

And they been busy [00:01:03]

Masterminds tearing apart plans[00:01:04]

And hoop dreamers ballin' with blisters[00:01:06]

On their hands[00:01:08]

With chains dangling from the rims[00:01:08]

Pain strangles them from within[00:01:11]

Until a belt around the arm makes[00:01:13]

The veins stand at attention[00:01:15]

I try to block it out with a bed sheet[00:01:19]

That moonlights as a curtain[00:01:21]

Cause I'm not comforted by red[00:01:22]

And blue lights when I'm hurting[00:01:24]

“Mommy loves you”[00:01:25]

Yeah I knew but I wasn't certain[00:01:26]

Cause the lenses through[00:01:27]

Which she views life wasn't working[00:01:29]

As a boy she told me [00:01:30]

“Wait for your father to come home”[00:01:32]

I'm 24 still waiting for my father to come home[00:01:33]

And some parents only touch their children[00:01:36]

When the whips brought[00:01:38]

That's why bad kids to bad shit [00:01:39]

Just so they can get caught[00:01:40]

And get touched; this growing up shit's rough[00:01:42]

That's a big part of why we're so mixed up[00:01:44]

Shit we don't have bah mitzvahs[00:01:47]

We become men the first time our father hits us[00:01:49]

And we don't open gifts up[00:01:51]

Sister regina from across the street is beautiful[00:01:53]

But for fifty bucks[00:01:56]

Ain't nothing she won't do to you[00:01:57]

Used to be premium pussy now she's used up[00:01:58]

For that same fifty bucks she gotta[00:02:01]

Do some new stuff[00:02:03]

Whatever it takes to make you pull the dollars out[00:02:04]

If you don't intervene[00:02:06]

Then there's a day she'll turn her daughter out[00:02:07]

Speaking of kids [00:02:09]

I'm fixing lunch for my first born[00:02:10]

I had the windows wide open[00:02:12]

'Cause the weather's warm[00:02:14]

That's when the greatest hits of donnie hathaway[00:02:15]

Got interrupted by[00:02:17]

A drive-by shooting half a block away[00:02:18]

Faheem was I the window he didn't get hit though[00:02:20]

“All praise due allah”[00:02:23]

I see all this from the desk[00:02:26]

That I write my rhymes from[00:02:27]

Pen starts to scribble on it's own my mind's numb[00:02:29]

But you could call me modern[00:02:31]

Urban norman rockwell[00:02:33]

I paint a picture of the spot well[00:02:34]

I see all this from the desk[00:02:36]

That I write my rhymes from[00:02:38]

Pen starts to scribble on it's own my mind's numb[00:02:39]

But you could call me modern[00:02:42]

Urban norman rockwell[00:02:44]

I paint a picture of the spot well[00:02:45]

I see all this from the desk[00:02:47]

That I write my rhymes from[00:02:49]

Pen starts to scribble on it's own my mind's numb[00:02:50]

But you could call me modern[00:02:53]

Urban norman rockwell[00:02:55]

I paint a picture of the spot well[00:02:56]
